I ask the same question about the other opposing settings. Control of centre = how much importance CM places on keeping control of the centre or preventing the opponent from doing the same. CM10th is very good at flank play, but neglects the centre a little at times. Mobility = activity and spatial control. CM is already quite active, but needs to restrict the opponent a little more than it does. King safety = maintaining pieces not too far away from being available to defend its own king or concentrating play more strongly on the opposing king. CM10th is much better at both than CM9000 was. Passed pawns = importance attached at creating and pushing its own passed pawns or preventing the opponent from doing the same. A real area of weakness for CM10th is in underestimating the value of oposing passed pawns and not always having sufficient protection for its own. Pawn weaknesses = the importance placed on maintaining pawn chains/islands and avoiding doubled/islolated pawns. CM10th is quite good in this area. If you bump the value of this setting up too much, you could get closed/semi-closed positions which don't suit computers. Just my thoughts, Regards, Graham.
